Mystery: The Stars Returner

Brave Bar.

Leonard has been here three nights in a row, but every time he has not met Miss Serafina, not even Hastur.

If he didn't believe in Hastur's character, he would even think that Hastur and Seraphina secretly eloped without telling him.

Hahaha, so funny.

He has turned into the worried person he is now.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Leonard ended another day full of disappointment. He sighed, left the Brave Bar, and walked aimlessly along the side of the street, looking past the shops one after another.

As for the pedestrians passing by, he no longer had the intention to look at them, so as not to be moved by the scene and only add to his sadness.

Until now, he was shocked to realize that his knowledge of Miss Serafina was very limited, and he didn't even know where she lived specifically.

If he wanted to meet her, he could only come to the Brave Bar to try his luck. Other than that, he had no other way to find her.

"Old man, am I almost hopeless?"

Leonard, who was full of worries that no one knew, could only lower his voice and talk to the old man living in his body.

"Don't worry, you will meet her again soon."

"I know you're just trying to comfort me."

"Oh, she will come to you by herself."

"really?"

"If you don't believe it, why bother asking for my opinion?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I just can't believe it. Maybe people have already forgotten me."

"Don't you always think you are very masculine?"

"..."

Leonard was silenced by this taunt and stopped chatting with the old man to cause trouble.

After walking aimlessly on the street for more than ten minutes, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

She was still wearing that distinctive black dress. Even in a dark street, Leonard could recognize her figure at first sight.

"Miss Serafina!"

Leonard's spirit was shaken, and he quickly stepped forward to meet him.

Serafina stood quietly, waiting for Leonard's arrival. Her eyes were not as clear as before, but filled with a hint of coldness.

Last time she suffered a little loss from Hastur Campbell, and this time it was time for his good friend to make up for it.

Since you want to experience love, how can you miss tasting the bitterness of love?

The flower of love nourished by pain is the most beautiful!

"Serafina, I thought you no longer wanted to see me."

Leonard's breathing was rapid, his eyes were red, and he looked at a loss.

Serafina said nothing, just looked at him with the same affectionate eyes, and then reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

The gentle and tender movements turned the pain and sorrow in Leonard's heart into sweet spring water, which was now flowing continuously to every inch of his body.

Every cell seems to be nourished and is beginning to cheer.

"Serafina..."

Leonard called the name in his gentlest voice.

Serafina gently tapped his lips with her right index finger, indicating that he didn't need to say anything, she understood.

Serafina!

Every corner of Leonard's heart was calling out this name.

No need to speak, no need to think, just let her lead you forward.

When Leonard gradually regained consciousness, he realized that he had arrived from the street into a room decorated with ambiguous adult elements.

In the dim light, Serafina stood in front of a full-length mirror, seemingly admiring her beautiful face.

By this time, the atmosphere has already set off.

No matter how long Leonard stayed, he still knew what he should do at this moment.

Silence is better than sound.

He walked slowly behind Serafina, and when he was about to put his hands around Serafina's slender waist in front of him, a teasing voice suddenly sounded deep in his heart.

"The person you want to hug now is a witch."

"??!"

Leonard's body suddenly froze, and his outstretched hands stopped in mid-air. The ripples that originally appeared in his heart were all frozen by the cold current.

"And she is not an ordinary witch, but an immortal witch who has lived for at least a thousand years."

"..."

Leonard's eyes were dull and motionless, as if he had lost all life.

A witch who is at least a thousand years old?

The immortal witch?

He didn't know where the Ageless Witch was in the Witch Path, but he knew that this was definitely not someone he could mess with!

"If you don't want to be drained by this immortal witch, just try your best to escape from her."

Leonard no longer cared about criticizing the old man for not telling the truth until now, he was now awake.

Yes, it’s only been a few days!

He was originally a prodigal who was used to wandering freely, but suddenly he met the one he loved. For her, he even really considered getting married and settling down.

There is no other possibility except to be charmed!

Leonard's face turned pale, his expression was complicated, and he took a step back slightly.

"what happened?"

Serafina, who was admiring her beauty in front of the mirror, noticed Leonard's little movements and asked in confusion.

"It's okay, I just think you are suitable to admire from a distance now."

Leonard had a smile on his face, and while looking at it, he stepped back and slowly moved towards the door.

"I find you are best viewed from this distance."

After Leonard finished his last compliment, he was ready to pull the door handle and run away.

But no matter how hard he pulled the door handle, the closed door could not be opened.

"What are you doing?"

Serafina still didn't turn around, and her originally innocent tone sounded very harsh in Leonard's ears at this moment.

"The room was a little stuffy, so I thought about opening the door to get some air." Leonard held back another blunt reason.

"Open the door and let people admire it? Why do you have such a weird habit?"

"..."

Leonard was speechless for a moment and thought about opening the door and running away.

But this door seemed to be against him. No matter how hard he tried, the door wouldn't budge.

"Is it really that hot?" Serafina's pleasant voice came.

"Hot, very hot." Cold sweat flowed from Leonard's forehead and temples.

"If it's hot, why don't you take off your clothes?"

With that said, Serafina gently untied the dark coat on her body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leonard pulled the door handle hard with both hands, trying to seize this rare opportunity, but he still couldn't open the door.

"Can't the door open?"

"Yes."

"Do you need me to help you?"

"If you are willing to help..."

Before Leonard could finish speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his neck and a fragrant breeze blowing.

He knew it was Serafina who had walked behind him, and his whole body froze instantly.

By this time, he had completely understood that his intention to escape had long been seen through, and it was Serafina who was deliberately teasing him before.

"Your exertion posture is wrong. You should use this posture."

Serafina came up from behind, reached out from behind, grabbed Leonard's hands, and rubbed them on the door handle.

Leonard pretended to be calm and said: "You seem to be unable to open the door, right?"

"Yeah, I'm only good at opening other people's hearts."

Serafina's fingers moved up from the back of Leonard's hand along his arm, then moved slightly and pointed at Leonard's heart.

"I heard from others that witches like to eat the hearts of young people to maintain their ageless appearance." Serafina's words seemed to mean something.

Leonard, who was already stiff and unable to move, said with a serious face: "Don't talk nonsense, witches are very kind people. They are willing to help others and are unwilling to kill, let alone do something as terrible as eating human hearts. Disgusting behavior.”

"Is the witch really that good?"

"Of course!"

"Then why are you anxious to run away?"

"I didn't want to run, I just wanted to open the door for some ventilation."

"You are not honest at all."

"..."

Leonard felt like he couldn't continue talking that day. He called the old man for help in his heart, but the old man seemed to have his ear in the deep valley on the witch's chest and did not respond to his call at all.

"What will a man do when he sees a beautiful woman who has taken all her clothes off?"

Serafina's right index finger had pierced the surface of Leonard's heart and continued to extend inside.

"Of course I took some clothes and put them on that woman, and warned her not to take off her clothes casually in front of men in the future, otherwise she wouldn't be able to put them on when she wanted to.

Dream! "

At the end of the story, Leonard yelled and tried to force Serafina into the dream, but unfortunately he failed.

Serafina rested her head on Leonard's shoulder, with a smile on her face, "I can't live without you in my dreams."

"None of my business!"

Leonard's forehead had veins popping out, and he hit the back with his right elbow.

What he didn't expect was that his powerful back elbow actually hit Serafina's beautiful face, and made her take half a step back in pain.

Leonard would not miss such a good opportunity and tried to open the door again. This time, the door was opened as expected. He hurried out and closed the door smoothly.

In the room, Serafina's face was full of doubts and panic. In just a moment, all her extraordinary abilities were ineffective, as if they had been stolen.
